Luckily i was wasnt affected by either of these

Isnt the faberge egg glitch just bad luck?

It is no glitch but written in the code that you won't get any baskets before you found the faberge egg.THAT is the Basketgate, that it has been the intention of the devs from the beginning to leave us without baskets for a big part of this event.Don't excuse this awful behavior by calling it a "glitch".The odds for finding the egg are 0.07%. That means that one in 1450 bunnies should give it to you.If you you tap about 150 bunnies a day you should get it after 10 days. Many of us found it earlier.I'm on day 16 without Faberge Egg now.Day 18 without baskets. That is two thirds of the event during which I am not able to partake in the immensely important exchange of eggs.My chances of getting Shary and Father Sean are thus very low.And this is by design, not by accident!

The glitch refers to the problem where our baskets appeared empty but no one could donate any eggs to them. I had five sitting empty for almost a week until they finally fixed it. Once they filled, I never saw another basket. The designers did include code that prevents us from gaining new baskets once we complete the quest until we find the faberge egg, and it seems like far too many have been unable to find it, while those who were lucky enough to find it or bought it outright are finding baskets dropped at an even faster rate (according to another thread). While that part is NOT a glitch, I'm wondering whether people like me are just unlucky enough to get hit by both or if there is an actual pattern that links the two together.

Just here to join the NO baskets discussion. I have had 15 total baskets the entire event- and most of them were in the first week.
I have not had a glitchy or "dead" basket.
I found the Fab egg moments after finishing the quest- then I went 9 days with not a basket to be found until today, when I got 1 (woot! LOL)

So, while I believe the code is such that no egg-no basket- there is also some sort of "issue" with the random number generator for basket giving bunnehs. To you ppl that say I get 4 baskets a DAY!... meh.

I am also aware that I am a freemium player and my expectation is never to get all of the content- and I am cool with that. BUT i wish that EA would not dangle all of that content in our faces and say.. FREE TO YOU.. if it isn't. I am totally alright with the free stuff being chance or whatever- then put all of the things that they expect ppl to pay for in its own category and let us decide if we want to pay for it or not. And IF you PAY for it .. you should GET it end of story. Right now, spend $$ on gold eggs.. and still NOT get premium prizes? I would be mad too.

It is really no different than saying.. here ! crazy cat lady for sale.. you push the buy button and there is ......spinning...........and.. then that "price is right" noise.. waaahhhwaaah WHAT hwaaaahhh.. eeeeeeehhhhhhhh, not this time. If they did that with all of the premium content nobody would do it, would they?

How is the hunt for Shary Bobbins any different? they tell you it will take a MINIMUM of 10,000 gold eggs or possibly 40,000 (holy crap!) 2(8) truckloads and 100 (400) donuts...and you STILL might not get what you want.

Anyway, I am not really mad at the event- I am mad about the execution of it. If you want to have premium and non-premium content available to players that is great, most of the freemium players accept there will be things we cannot get and we live our lives just fine- tell us what those things are an let US choose to buy or not, instead of making us gamble and hope for things we will certainly never be able to get. Especially if we are not given a fighting chance because of glitches and built in house always wins code.

Thanks for listening to me
